very informative information!

 

Tanfoglio - beautiful job. Couldn't ask for more!

 

Never had mine down that far.


Here we go !!!

 

Very well done. That is very helpful

 

I found this very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to post pics.

 

Sweet !!

That is Wonderful!!
Thanks for the show!!

 

Tanfoglio:

Regarding your post no. 7, a question:

Is it possible to remove the trigger pack without first removing the backstrap?

Thanks,

M

 

It is possible, but then u have spring pressure on the trigger pack

 

I got permission from TANFOGLIO to use his pics in a slide show that can be down loaded.

All credit still goes to TANFOGLIO. He took a lot of time to take the pics and post them.

I just thought someone may want a slide show that can be clicked through easily.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TANFOGLIO !!!

That's cool -- a big thanks to both of you for some spirited cooperation.

 

IF u removed trigger pack - you removed automatic the back strap.

the question was

Is it possible to remove the trigger pack without first removing the backstrap?

Yes - but the backstrap come out then automatic.

 

Oh I gotcha now, but if you glue the back strap on with the trigger pack in, it wont come out then will it?

 

Cleaning without ever removing the backstrap "safety"...

I gather there a lot of gun enthusiasts who don't care for these types of safeties because of the potential of inadvertently rendering the gun inoperable.

Perhaps through a poorly fitting backstrap, wearing it out, it breaking, etc.

Is it perfectly acceptable (after confirming the gun is NOT loaded) to clean a PPS without ever removing the backstrap and merely dry firing to bring it into the same state for field stripping?

That's what I do, if I want my PPS disabled I remove the slide/barrel and stick a padlock through the ejection port.

 

TANFOGLIO, have you tackled the magazine catch?

Just curious, I noticed that your grip frame still had one moving part left.

 

You right, magazin catch is still incorporated - I do not have him removed

It is disassemble light.... not all parts.

 

That's damn good info, Tang!

 

I am a Sig armorer, and on some of the guns we used to issue, when you took the roll pins out, you had to replace them with new ones (or at least, it was recommended by Sig). Is the roll pin that holds the trigger pack in reusable? I know it seems a silly question, but I haven't broken my PPS down to the nuts and bolts yet, and want to know if I need to have a spare roll pin on hand.

 

I believe that pertained to the hollow roll pins only if my memory is correct. I do not think we need to replace the solid pins. I recall my older P220 has a two pin breach block arrangement ~ one pin inside another.

 

Same guidelines with the Marine Corps. I worked for five years in an armory and whenever we broke weapons down for maintenance, by the manual, we were supposed to replace those roll pins. Supposed to and always did are two different things though...

With that said, it certainly wouldn't hurt to have an extra one on hand because I have read a thread or two where someone did break it down that far and the roll pin warped from using the wrong size punch or hitting it too hard, leaving them SOL.

I've broken one down all the way and I was just careful to use the proper size punch and work it slow but steady. Put it together and the roll pin worked just fine and the PPS operates the same.

Hope this helps!
